I'm noticing an alliterative theme in the menaces in the Tales of the Red Panda series - the Crime Cabal, the Mind Master, and now the Android Assassins. It's a nice touch, and just one of the ways that Taylor hearkens back to the radio serials that Red Panda is based on.

In a sense this is more of the same Red Panda adventures, but given how much I enjoy those adventures, that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I've gotten used to the third-person narration, which was never poorly done but just wasn't what I was used to in the first book. Taylor is setting the novels back in the earlier days of the Panda and Squirrel relationship, which is understandable, but I'm a big fan of the “modern” relationship that it takes away from my enjoyment a little bit.
